A place for organising reddit meetups and social events in London. From our legendary pub crawls, to midweek meetups and spare gig tickets. Or anything else you can think of.

This is not for promoters or advertisers. It's for events that you are attending. For gigs, pre-drinks at a nearby pub is good. Check any of the other posts, mobile numbers are the best way to find someone.

Newcomers are always welcome. No exceptions. No need to post an introduction, just reply to the thread to say hi, and turn up! Although we do have the rule you need to be 18+, even for non-drinking events.

Guidelines:

1: Post the subject line IN THE FOLLOWING FORMAT:

[DD/MM/YY] Event @ Location

2: Provide as many details as possible, with links to relevant websites in the self-post. Mods may remove vague or unclear posts.

3: Provide your contact details to help others find you as early as possible. On the day at the latest.

4: Give plenty of notice - anything less than a few days is usually a bad idea.

A kind LSC'er may be able to secure us access to his office in London Bridge for an LSC LAN. However, the max amount of people it can cater to is 12-16 (assuming most people are bringing laptops and only a few with desktops) so it's vital that we know just how many people are interested and can definitely come on the 11th of August? I know it's a while away so some people won't be able to confirm whether or not they can definitely come but I consider it lucky we (may) have this venue at all :)

Though if anybody knows a place they can definitely secure for this to happen with a similar (or even, dare I say it, larger) amount of space then please come forward :)

There is another option if we can't find a place to do it and that's to simply organise a gaming night where we all join the same VOIP (TS3/mumble/skype/whatever) and just play with each other (giggity) online. If it comes to that we can use the EU Tribes mumble as I have admin rights in my old team channel and I can just re-purpose it for the event. If we do it this way we can do it any day we want which is a plus, though we do lose out on the atmosphere of a proper LAN.

Last but not least - if we do manage to find a place to do this but we have a lot of people interested we can always combine the two options. I'm not sure how we'd decide who stays at home and who comes to the event but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Maybe a first come first served basis so nobody seems like the bad guy :P

So:

What are your thoughts on this? Anything that you'd change?

Can you come? Maybe come?

And how many people want to participate online because they can't come or would rather stay at home?

I've only got a massive gaming PC, but I'd love to join remotely. I'm big into LFD2 and TF2, so those would be my vote. I'm available anytime :)
Borderlands is cool with me too, but that's only parties of 4 max..

Damn, totally double booked already on that weekend, any other weekend and I am in for Portal 2, L4D2, TF2, CS, any of the CoD games, maybe even some minecraft. I'm a sysadmin and could bring a mini-server that could handle hosting a couple of dedicated servers if needs be :)

Unfortunately away for the 11th but would love to register my interest for this as a regular event, can't believe no one has done it before.
CSS/GO are always great fun, especially if you get some good party maps on the go.
LoL is fun even for beginners
Could even get a little (or big) DayZ squad going as I think that game improves massively with a larger group.

I have yet to actually take part in any LSC events (always seem to be double booked, working or otherwise unavailable) but I'd potentially be interested in this! Either rocking up at the location or taking part remotely would be cool.

The only thing I'd change is not have it on a Sunday, because work on Monday would mean no late-night gaming for me. I get that the venue availability probably makes that a moot suggestion though.

Any idea of games? I've recently been getting into chivalry: medieval warfare, bet that'd be fun at a LAN event.

Yeah, I asked if it was free on Saturday the 3rd but Saturdays are just no good and the earliest he said he might be able to arrange this is the 11th. For unemployed bums such as myself this poses no problem but I understand that plenty of people will unfortunately be stopping earlier than we'd like. No matter, if it goes ahead we can just start earlier in the day (if I've learned one thing it's that LSC gets drunk at any time of day) so we can still get a good bit of time gaming :)

That was a very badly framed question on my part. I meant to ask how keen you'd be to play some co-op Saints Row. I've just finished the campaign, and quite enjoyed it. Of course, I did pick it up as part of the Humble THQ bundle, so super cheap.

On the shitty frames bit, if you're looking for a graphics card, I've got a brand-new (warranty replacement) card sitting around somewhere. I think it was a 6950.

I'd be up for it, probably opt to stay home and I'm way too lazy to disconnect my PC and bring it to London Bridge, I've got a variety of games, League of Legends would probably be my go to though (US account.. I can make a EU one though, heres hoping the free week gives me a good support champ!)

I have only made it to one LSC event in the past (I have tried to come to a couple but flaked out for one reason or another), but I wanted to register interest in London LANs in general, if not this one in particular. I have to leave home at 2am that Monday morning to catch a plane, so will be trying to sleep Sunday afternoon. I could possibly jump online to join in with some TF2/L4D2/Magicka/CS/BL2/PS2/MC at some point, though.

For the record, I would be lugging a desktop + screen. No laptop here.

Any other people going to Insomnia a couple of weeks after that? It is the highlight of my year!
